Chapter 194: The Battle of Luoyang (Part II)
"Quick, push the bed crossbow out of the way! Don't let the enemy trebuchet ruin! Duan Da saw that the enemy's trebuchet had been set up, and hurriedly asked people to push the trebuchet away, but it was too late, the bed crossbow was cumbersome, and he could move it if he thought about it, how could it be so easy.
"Cast!" Cheng Yanjin gave an order, and the four trebuchets instantly threw out the explosive bag, which was lighter than the stone and fast, and arrived at the head of Luoyang City in the blink of an eye.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! "Now I can't take care of the bed crossbow, talent is the most important, the bed crossbow can be built if it is destroyed, but people are gone, it will take more time to train a batch, pulling the bed crossbow is not a high-tech job, there is a few strengths, but if you want to shoot accurately, then not everyone can do it, just like the pilots of later generations, the plane crash pilot escaped first. But it was too late, because this time it was not rocks that were thrown at them, but explosives packets.
"Bang~Bang!"
"Ahh A huge explosion rang out, accompanied by screams, and the city was in shambles, the remains of the bed crossbow and the bloody bodies constituted a living hell. Not only were the defenders of Luoyang stupid, but even Cheng Biting Jin, the culprit, was shocked, although the explosion this time was not as good as the one in Rencheng, but it did not directly cause damage at that time, but this time it was to see the power alive.
"Keep projecting! Until they destroy all their bed crossbows! Cheng gritted his teeth and continued to order, no matter what, this is a war, your kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself, whether it is against heaven or not, wait until this battle is over.
When the smoke cleared, all that was left was the desolation, a corner of the tower was also affected, and a pillar had been broken, but the power of the explosive pack was limited after all, and there was not much damage to the city wall as a whole, but some arrow stacks were destroyed, and it was impossible to hide from people. The bed crossbow did not escape the fate of being destroyed.
"What's going on?! Can anyone tell me how this is! As soon as Wang Shichong, who had gone and returned, arrived at the city when he heard a loud noise at the head of the city, and when he stepped on the city, he saw a scene that could not be imagined in any way.
"Angry! Thor is furious! One soldier said with trepidation, his will broken.
"Fart, this is not the anger of the gods at all, is it only the enemy who sacrifices to the gods, and we don't? This is simply a new weapon of the enemy! Wang Shiquan smelled a smell similar to the explosion of firecrackers, and knew that this must be a rather powerful weapon developed by Qingzhou, and felt a pity in his heart, the person in the prison would rather die than speak, otherwise maybe they would have this kind of weapon.
"Don't be afraid, take up the swords and arrows in your hands and defend our homeland?" Wang Shichong will not believe in any ghosts and gods, not only him, but most people in high positions will not believe it, because they only believe that money can make ghosts grind, but it does not prevent them from using ghosts and gods to control the people, so the emperor is called the Son of Heaven, so he can use heavenly principles to destroy people's desires, and will use religious ideas to control and fool the people.
"Zhiluo, I will leave it to you to command, don't let this king down!" Wang Shichong said to Chen Zhiluo behind him, Chen Zhiliu has some ability, but Wang Shichong has not been very at ease with him, not only that, but he is not at ease with all outsiders, but now he can't help him, and there is no one under him.
"Yes! The subordinates must not let the prince down! Chen Zhiluo immediately expressed his determination, and finally came out, it was not easy.
"Hurry up and pack up and get ready to defend! The enemy army is about to attack the city! As soon as Chen Zhiluo took over the defense, he immediately entered the state, and arranged it in an orderly manner, and Wang Shichong was finally relieved when he saw this.
"Attack, keep filling the river!" The bed crossbow had been destroyed, the resistance had decreased, and the river reclamation could finally continue, or else it would have been dark.
"Go, bring Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun and Wang Jun here." Seeing that the moat in the east gate section had been filled, Yang Yun planned to launch a wave of attacks while the sky was still a little bright, and the reason why he wanted to transfer Xue Wanche and the others over was because they were fiercer than Jin Yu after all, and this first wave of offensive had to create enough momentum.
"Shixin commanded the trebuchet to beat me hard until all the stones were thrown; Zhijie continued to direct trebuchets on the siege vehicles to attack in the direction of the enemy's banner, so that they would not be able to command the soldiers! Yang Yun instructed the two to command the trebuchet, and the reason why they didn't want them to lead troops to attack the city was because they were the fiercest of the two, and they had to be used on the blade of steel, and this was only a tentative and demonstrative battle, and they were not needed to go out.
"I don't know what the prince has to find the three of me?" After a while, Xue Wanche and the three of them came from the former military camp to Yang Yin's main camp.
"Each of you will bring 10,000 horses and horses to me to attack the city continuously! You don't have to take the city, as long as you can fight it. ”
"Yes! Your subordinates will definitely complete the task! "The three of them received the order, isn't it easy to play with momentum, originally all the soldiers were in high spirits.
Inside Luoyang City
"The enemy army has been attacking the city for two days, but Luoyang is still firmly in our hands, as long as we hold out for a few more days, the enemy army will be short of food and grass, and then they will inevitably retreat, these are the results of your joint efforts. But don't rejoice too soon, the enemy army is just a test in the past two days, and the next few days will be the real fierce battle, so please cheer up and pay attention to the enemy's every move. Especially the west gate of Lord Yuan, where the enemy army doesn't seem to make much moves, it seems as if it is just to contain our strength, but I feel that it is not so simple, they must have some plans! Wang Shichong came forward to convene all forces to discuss countermeasures and explained his views.
"Lord Wang is right, at this time, we should unite to resist the enemy army together, and put aside the previous grievances for the time being." Yuan Wendu also stood up and spoke at this time, he never recognized Wang Shichong's identity as the prince, but only called him according to Wang Shichong's official position, this head can't just let Wang Shichong come out, he also has to stand up and show that he is also a figure in Luoyang.
Wang Shichong's speculation was good, Yang Jin's offensive in the first two days seemed to be fierce, but it was just a temptation, but Wang Shichong miscalculated, Li Jing's army at the West City Gate was still trying to contain their men, because what Yang Yin planned was not the East Gate, nor the West Gate, but the North Gate or the South Gate that was not surrounded.
"In the first two days, we only made a tentative attack, and we have basically figured out the situation of the defenders, and we should also launch a full-scale offensive, because our food and grass will not be able to support it for a few days." At night, Yang Xuan secretly summoned all the generals, including Li Jing, to come over.
"Please command!" Hearing Yang Jun's words, everyone had already determined that the decisive battle was coming, and they were looking forward to it.
"Tomorrow we will officially launch the final battle against Luoyang City! The east and west are attacking together, and gunpowder is also used, to give them the illusion that we are attacking these two gates with all our might. General Zhang, Yang Fan, and Luo Shixin led the cavalry to bypass the south gate, and I have already arranged to wait until the defenders of the east and west gates can no longer support it, and when the defenders of the south gate go to support, the young ** monk will help us cut down the drawbridge at the south gate, and then you will attack the city in one go! "Yang Huang planned the south gate of Luoyang, at the beginning did not let Li Jing let go of the attack is to confuse the enemy, once the onslaught is launched, with the support of trebuchets and gunpowder, even if the number of defenders is difficult to resist, they must mobilize men and horses from other places to support, but to wait until the defenders arrive, the battle is estimated to be close to night, and then the opportunity comes, the young ** monk took advantage of the night to cut the drawbridge is done!
On the second day, the flag covered the sun, and 10,000 people formed a formation, as if there was a thunderous momentum!
"Today is the last battle, I hope you don't weaken the prestige of my Qingzhou army, and ask them to take a look at the heroic appearance of my Qingzhou son! Go, this king will warm wine for you, and each of you is the cloud chief of this king! Yang Xuan's words came out slowly, and the blood of 100,000 soldiers was instantly ignited.
The drums of war sounded, the horses roared, and the tens of thousands of people roared! Together, these three voices are an invincible will!
"Kill!!"
The siege of 100,000 people, vast and majestic, rushed to the city wall like a tide, and the shouts of killing resounded through the heavens and the earth. The final offensive against Luoyang is completely launched here!
